the patrons of this the greatest exhibit
ton of the kind ever given in Virginia
Miss Peek then gave her exhibition OF
Roman standing race. This daring young
hOrsewOman presented gay appearance
as she rode up to the starting point. a
large white horse was side by side with
small bay one the latter, of course, having
the pole. With one foot on the back OF
either animal, Miss Peek began her peril
Gus circuit. She appeared in heavy
black silk dress, cut decolette, and reach
ing only to the knees. On her feet she
wore buckskln shoes with cross-strap
ergings, through which a pair of we'll
| filed black hose shone. At the waist was
heavy sash of cardinal ribbon. The
head gear was black lace bonnet with
snOw-white feather on top. As she APP
peared in her captivating attire and daring
act she was loudly applauded. The horses
we're managed admirably and their pace
was as one horse. The time was lit fol

ing notices, &c, of the Shenandoah.Coun-
~ Agricultural Society Fair, IN this Is
sue. nav be misunderstood, and some per-
sons think that we are receiving more
advertising patronage than should fall to
the share of one newspaper, we will state
that every line is given gratuitously by
the editor-in-chief and the local editor of
,; .s HERALD, and not one cent will be
asked or received for the same. Believ-
ing, as We firmly do, that the coming fair
will he one of the best exhibitions OF the

ious TO see 1t a grand success in every
respect. and 10 that end the HERALD will
do all in its power Let all the men, wo-
men and even the children of our magnifi-
cent county do something to make the
Far the grand exhibition it should, and,
doubtless will be, and the result of your
efforts will be such that we can well feel
truly proud of Old Shenandoah and her
big show.
